Hmmm. Option A will cut directly by my parents house - dramatically decreasing its value. Option C seems to be the one that avoids most residential property.

I drove past your old man's place t'other day. It needs a new railway line like a hole in the head!
Better to have your house devalued, than like my friends, demolished under Option B

Still what's £220 million pounds nowadays?

Build a tunnel!

From exotic Doxey International to Manchester Piccadilly..

Thus missing out 'scenic' Stoke

Good idea, the tunnel below the satnall hills is over 160 yrs old and most hardly know it's there......

We started the thread discussing Stafford Station Car park. It has now moved on to Doxey International via a tunnel that nobody knows about and Astro Boy concerned about the value of his parents house. ( code for inheritance ) Where else can you be so well informed!

Well, apart from me, thee, gilbert and bombalini it was a wucking secret

Does that mean i can now reveal you have been complicit in defrauding funds from the education system via your 'sleepers' in the back bar of the White Lion ?

I really dont think locals realise that to get a super fast high speed rail service between Manchester and London it cannot possibly stop at crumbly little places like Stafford and Stoke
The flyover at NB isn't about doing Stafford out of a rail service. It is a major bottleneck on the West Coast so needs something doing with it.

Surely those who want to come to Stafford still would? I've never jumped off a train a few stops early because the station looked nice?

The point I make is that the flyover is about speed

The disruption, the huge cost ( we all pay ) will not be a benifit to Stafford - Why on earth would you spend £300 million pounds speeding up the London service only to pull it up 4 miles down the track in Doxey approaches.. ( Stafford )
